This is a great help whether you’re just starting out with your business or already established but need tax information. The IRS has an online classroom that includes a small business workshop, small business tax workshop, a course on federal taxes and additional resources. I’m finding it very educational.

Let’s face it. Taxes are no one’s favorite topic, but getting them wrong can cost you a lot of money. Even if you use an accountant it’s a good idea to know what is expected of you.

The information is also excellent if you don’t know how to get started in terms of setting up your company. The Introduction to Federal Taxes for Small Business/Self-Employed Course reviews the different ways you can set up. You can watch video or read the transcripts. Parts are a bit out of date, since this particular one was created in 2000, but it’s mostly still solid information. They provide a link to updates, so you can find out what the changes are.
